I hold it, which can be a real pain when I go on my longer runs. Those can easily last for an hour or more. I never got a case when I bought the phone and once the iPhone 3G came out, most cases were made for that unit which is a little thinner. I’ll find something else to carry the new phone with. Two years of running with a thin brick haven’t been that enjoyable.

Count me in on running with iphone strapped to my arm–usually listening to unabridged audio books, sometimes music.

How about some jkontherun (literally) suggestions on carrying a device for running–straps, earphones etc.

I am debating whether to go cordless with the new iphone os bluetooth and am looking for appropriate earphones.

Also have strap from H2O that is waterproof–on longer sweatier runs I am so dripping my iphone is wet and touch screen won’t respond. My strap for using underwater takes care of that.

Do you hold your iPhone or strap it on?

I run with my iPhone too (though I prefer my nano). Sometimes I even strap the iphone to my arm which is totally dorky, but then I remember that it wasn’t that long ago runners would actually bring cassette players and portable cd players with them. Now THOSE were big. Its amazing how quickly we get used to the small size of gadgets these days.

Thanks for posting, Kevin! I actually am a DJ and have a few devices to which I export my iTunes MP3 collection for use in gigs, but each software package handles BPMs differently and none that I currently use export their BPM settings back into iTunes, which is really useful for track planning. Cheers!
